+      This package installs an application launcher item that opens Netflix in a dedicated Google Chrome window. If your preferred browser doesn't support Netflix's DRM, this package provides a quick and easy way to launch Netflix on a supported browser, without polluting your application list with a redundant, single-purpose browser.
